In this brief episode, Dr. Shaw puts forth the notion that it is important to see yourself as you are in order to effectuate change in your life. While working on oneself, we need to be reflective and intentional and monitor our attention. By doing so we build stamina and increase the muscle of patience and of having objectivity. We all have blind spots, but when build up our attention we can eliminate those blind spots. Also, much of the time that it seems as though change isn't happening, it actually slowly is. The exercise of seeing oneself is actually the mechanism for change.
